I have the, honour to inform :you, that I have received from my Government ihe• Most. pcksitiVe instru&ions to endeavour to communicate With the spanish Officers commanding the troops of that'N'a tion in the vicinity of my command, and to ; coneetf, with them measures to secure their retreat fi:oriily • .place of embarkation which they may possest,''SnT for placing I,,liern in a-state of security until Trans ports for their reception, can be provided to convey them to Spain, for whieh, as well as the necessary provisions, measures have already been taken; and indeed of the arrival of them I am in hourly ex-: peaation. Until that period shall arrive, they are welcome to share in the accommodation and pro- visions .Of the Ships under my command ; but as that might not afford ample means at present, al though I am in expeaatian of the Commander in Chief, I, would suggest, under the pressure of cir cumstances, the removal of the Troops to some of the Islands in the Belt for their perfect securiqc , But as a measure of this magnitude:to the interests of the Spanish Nation would necessarily require a concerted plan, lest by attention to partial interests .the general one might suffer, I request an unrseived • and confidential communication ; either to the Ships off Nyborg,' that stationed off Langeland, or any of his :Britannic Majesty's Ships in the Belt, and Alt : rough the Bearer of this, or by any other Means. I propOse sending on Sunday, unless I should earlier receive some person on board, a Flag of Truceun ler some pretext to the Spanish• Post at Spoksberg, arni. if this be safely received, I wish, its token or it, a small guard might parade •in: some con,sPicuous situation at min to-morroW, near the Ecigiish Ship at at:chor, or under sail : near Sproys: berg. at once; but the zeal and exertion of the' Officers and Ships' Companies would greatly diminish the difficulties, and I should be much aided in lending assistance to the troops at Frederisca if, as I have before said, those in Langeland should be considered iqcapable of maintaining that post without any imme" I:ltiate support. lam aware some sacrifices of horses , and perhaps cannon, might be necessary, and we must . be • prepared to encounter even unforeseen dif 4 ficulties ; naval arrangements and movements are ,ever dependent, in some degree, on weather ; butt , ShoUld hope to surmount them all. It would 0 1 I course be right to drive in cattle, and take whatever rtiroviSiOns might be practicable with the troops, so ~ %it Would not only save our pr-sent supply, which, F the victuallers not having.at this moment arrived, if . rather 'scanty - fiii.the Spanish army, but would put h m — Fat ease on'that score, provided any unavoidable t delay should intervene, and prevent my se nding sup' plies to:tlierYi on shore. In 'my present uniuformed sta;e I am not in.-a 'situation to judge ho , .v far it might bein the povir . of, or deemed- preferable by the Spanish Common.; . der, to seize onNyboig. it would.secure,the inae tn. ity of the Gifu-boats in that port. .But "4ucli measure might possibly involve_ the safOy of th e troops in 'Zealand and Jutland, by inducing the Danes to ad hOstilely, when otherwise they might be disposed to wink at, or make no serious ettbrts to impede the quiet removal of the Spanish troops. But if the principles of this Plan.sllotild be op' proved of, and• deemed feasible by those in corn' mond, - I would reCommend the movement to ht" general. That it be agreed - to ad upon-it in all its parts the same day, except a discovery should tale pace, in which case each part should ad immedi ately without hesitation: I aCknowledge I should have little expectation of the success of any negociation. for the peaceable removal of the troops., But a declaration imme diately after ~the movement shall have commenced, of the peaceahle and unoftending objed in view, ae ccimpanied with a threat of retaliation in the event , of an hostile,opposition on the part of the Danes or lireuc,h might perhaps be found advantageous: In s tating the ;:al al force at present under M Y , cioniancl, it iP, right to observe I am in expedation of more o,lps, ond have t en informed that a su&" * Th.ught unnecessary now o send. r (lent IS 110 To , C of P fic' of ) to fire In) Lu Sta 43
